I just turned on the lights for my bettas and saw Francesco sprawled lifeless on the bottom of his tank. I just lost one of my platies so my reaction was "oh, noooooo! Not another loss!". Tapped on the glass and he woke up. He was having a sleep-in. Don't DO THAT! My nerves can't stand it......

My clowns and yoyos do that do. Plopped over on their sides lifeless. Took quite some getting used to when I'd see that. :shock:

One of my female bettas, Ting, was draped across some Anubias roots and I thought she was dead too. But she was just taking a nap. lol

My platies ALWAYS scare me like that. they're so lazy all the time... I have to look and see if their gills are moving.

It was odd because they are usually up and about when I put their lights on in the morning. I've only seen them sleeping on the bottom if I've looked in after lights out at night. I didn't expect to see him sleeping in the morning so if gave me a fright.

I see that mostly in my Bolivian Rams when the light first comes on for the day. They take a good 15 minutes to start moving about their day. Reminds me of my college days ;-)
